Easy Picture Frame Crafts

Tammy and Jordan Share Their Picture Frame Crafts with Us!

It's a digital world and while we all look at our online photo albums, it's still fun to make your own picture frames. We hadd a blast with these picture frame and want to share some great ideas with you.

The basic idea is to use materials that you have around the house....cereal boxes, beans, tape, etc. Let your imagination soar!

Below you'll find our selection of free ideas and templates (when needed). Pick out your favorites or make all of them...and have fun snapping those pictures!

Flower Picture Frame

Supplies:

A rectangular piece of cardboard (we used one panel from an empty cereal box)
Scissors
Paint, markers or crayons
A picture of your child's face

Directions:

Print out the template and trace it on the cardboard.
Cut the flower out.
Have your child decorate it. We used poster paint.
Paste your child's picture in the center of the flower.

Magnet Picture Frame

Colored sponge sheets
Metal-edged ruler

Directions:

Cut a piece of colored sponge sheet a bit bigger than the picture you are about to frame.

Glue a piece of magnetic strip to the back of the picture.

Potpourri Picture Frame

This easy craft idea is great if you need to renew your potpourri. Instead of throwing the old potpourri away, let your child use it to make his own picture frame creation.

Transparent Clear Adhesive Contact Paper
Scissors
Your favorite picture

Directions:

Cut two pieces of contact paper the same size.
Place the first piece of contact paper adhesive side up.
Place picture in the center.
Have your child place the dried flowers around the picture
Place the second piece of contact paper, adhesive side down, on your child's creation.

Cork Board Picture Frame

Cork Cut Piece
Glue
Dried Beans

Directions:

Glue your favorite picture to the center of the cork cut piece

Hint: A great investment for your picture frame crafts is to purchase Adhesive Magnet Tape. The magnetic power is strong enough to hold any of these projects to the refrigerator. We're always curious about how our crafts worked for you. So... would you consider sending in a picture of your finished frames to be featured in our photo gallery? It's easy to do!
